Thanks Labwalker, I'm beginning to get the hang of it. We're retraining our brains! @ Areomech, GL I hope all goes well! :-) You will prob get slight swelling once you get a fill so just be aware that what you feel initially may likely subside....I am beginning to understand "head hunger" and drink Water (45 min-hr after eating) everytime I "feel" the need to eat even after I've already eaten.(head hunger or boredom hunger) smh old habits die hard but I know it'll get easier as I get back into fun activities that once kept me busy and fit.

Just an update' date=' I regained control and lost the 4lbs plus 1lbs. I received my first fill yesterday 4/12/13 and that brings me to 4cc. I feel slight swelling but I'm hopeful that I will feel some restriction once it goes away. I will work my hardest to chg my poor old habits. I thank you all for your encouragement![/quote']

Way to go. I am still struggling with changing my poor habits. This is a life style change and it's going take time to adjust. I have to keep my head in check DAILY. IT DOES GET BETTER!!!!!!

Dont get discouraged! I didn't have success from my band until 9cc's. That's why its adjustable. Everyone is different. My fist 3 months I only lost 10 total. My 4th month after my 9cc fill, I lost 13 and I feel encouraged and fantastic! Keep at it, keep getting your fills! It works!!!!

I've been MIA, went back to work and have been running ragged ever since lol...I just got my second fill today bringing me to 5cc and -4lbs. The weight is coming off slowly but I'm on track. I am integrating more excercise and finding workout buddies. Haven't had time to log meals in the meal tracker but will try to get back on track with that...its just so tedious at times. Anyway thx for reading! :-)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
